Program's Home Page Publisher: RnR Software

"This spelling program is based on the Look-Cover-Write-Check method of learning spellings used in many primary and secondary schools. This is a long established and proven method of learning to spell words accurately. Most children, whilst learning to read and write at primary school, are regularly given word lists to learn. RnR Spelling makes it easy for your child to practice learning these words, with a few minutes of regular practice using the Look-Cover-Write-Check method that is the basis for the program. Unlike other spelling programs, the word lists are completely customizable so that they can always match what your child is required to do for school."

After an assessment, students focus on specific skills, and work in a mixed practice format that includes crossword puzzles and two-answer questions. They receive help and contextual feedback. Students are able to track their progress and print results. Students’ scores are kept in a management system that allows teachers to view and print reports."


Animated Beginning Phonics

Program's Home Page Publisher: Flix Productions

Designed for beginning readers (pre-kindergarten to second grade), Animated Beginning Phonics covers upper- and lowercase letters, beginning and ending sounds, middle short vowel sounds, and beginning reading words. Sound is used extensively to help the child identify words and letters. Help is available as needed by the student. Pictures of more than 200 3D objects are used in the exercises.

All menu items and directions are read aloud to the student to help prereaders navigate and operate the program. When the student has completed a certain number of problems, they can visit the game room with puzzles and matching games (animated of course). The game room has a parent/teacher control so the number of problems that have to be completed before the student can play can be controlled (5 to 50, or you can close the game room."
